Every tennis racquette that I've owned was purchased for me by one of my parents . . . I just bought one today. I can't wait to get back to L.A. to play. I am only 2 hours away . . . on my way back tomorrow

Hi Jamie:) I just joined the beginner racqueteers. You sound like me. I just wanted to say hi. I am dying to play tennis, too, but I live right near Cincinnati, and it's cold and rainy. I am getting ready to buy a racket for the first time, too, on my own.;)
I wish I lived in Cali.
Good luck with your game!
